Sentence examples for parity classes from inspiring English sources

Differences in the accuracy of alternate milking schemes to predict daily yields were found between traits, between morning and evening milkings, and between parity classes.

Heritability values for the last two parity classes clearly exceed those of the first four classes.

Under this approach, the numbers of piglets born alive at each one of the six parity classes (1 to 5 and ≥ 6) were treated as different traits.

Low-incidence herds also showed numerically lower OR estimates for laminitis-related lesions in all parity classes and a numerically lower OR for hygiene-related lesions.

Fisher's exact test was used to compare IMI counts between groups of different parity classes, statistical significance was taken to be p < 0.05.

A simple comparison of Staphylococcus aureus IMI between parity classes resulted in significant differences (particularly when the outlying farm was omitted) but these effects did not hold after considering a model with nested random effects.

The number of litters per parity class is reported in Table 1.

Piglets were born from parities 1 to 7. Parities 3 through 7 were combined into one parity class.

Here, adjusted phenotypes were phenotypes adjusted for estimates of fixed effects (sex, pen within trial, and the interaction of trial and parity class) within the validation population.

Variance components and parameter estimates were obtained using VCE-5 program [ 30] and association analysis were performed using Qxpack package [ 31] Estimated values of heritability (h2 = σu/σy) for NBA at each parity class and estimated genetic correlations between parities are shown in Table 1.

where y 1 to y ≥ 6 represent litter size records (NBA) at each parity class, β 1 to β ≥ 6 are the vectors of fixed effects for the six different traits considered, which include the genetic line of the litter's sire (Tai-Zumu or Landrace), parity order and farm-year-season, u 1 to u ≥ 6 and e 1 to e ≥ 6 are vectors of random additive genetics and residual effects for each trait, respectively.
